If they start doing the brain replacement, I expect Apple level migration of data from old brain to new.

Let's hope they don't migrate whatever made you decide to get a new brain though. It'd suck if they also migrated mental illnesses and old traumas and stuff.

There are a lot of politicians (in the democratic countries) where the primary school didn't leave any trace. /s

"Would you like to try the digestive tract remapping first? It's a lot less invasive, but, if it doesn't work you'll be depressed the entire time you're making a mess of yourself."

Are you thinking of cutting out peoples' brains and then regrowing new ones?

I wonder if japan has a different regulatory structure - allowing this to happen there as opposed to other parts of the world, with different laws.

Japan has a regulatory agency, the PMDA, and you have to submit CDISC data from your trial to them to get anything approved. I’m not sure about the specifics of your question though.

it's crazy how primitive modern dental work is, and then when you consider how many bad dentists there are out there, it gets even scarier.
